Porcelain Nappa with Brown Ash Wood Trim

Anyone has this combination on the E or other series cars? Looking to see if a good match.

I like the idea of "untreated" wood, but not sure how it will look.

Thanks

if by untreated you mean matte trim......it looks like plastic.........go look at a dealer and you'll see what I mean

I mean the "open-pore" brown ash wood trim.

I like the idea of a real-looking wood, rather than the plasticized wood (the one with all that gloss).

right, the open pore; I saw some at a dealer and was shocked............it looks **** poor IMHO.........I liked the idea as well, but open pore is very 'plastic' like to me

Very euro look. It will work but IMO too many colors (black upper/lower dashboard, brown trim splitting it, then porcelain seats.

I'm a huge fan of the porcelain but not with brown.

I'm sure you remember this thread: https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...a-leather.html

Here's a rendering of porcelain with open pore ash (with regular leather and with nappa).

Thanks for this - very helpful.

I think I like your setup better (dark ash) more, which I think is why most porcelain leather is matched this way.

Well disappeared off the UK price lists anyway. We do get the night edition, but I stuck with the SE because every E class is an AMG line (styling only) seemingly in the UK. I got hyacinth red too
